My god... a P.E. teacher telling a girl she has to change with the boys because she's not attracted to them! That is just disgusting behaviour from a so-called adult. I'm appalled that someone so young has experienced that; it's the kind of thing you'd expect to happen decades ago.

wow the thing that pisses me off the most is girls thinking that because you're lesbian that you want to get with then or you're attracted to them! its like don't flatter yourself not everyone fancies you! and its even worse when the teachers are like it! i know how you feel but stay strong everyone x

@tgflux This has to be said.... i lolled at this comment... mainly because... its true! Well said! :)

@medium8 In which case, those women/girls need to learn that some women do look more masculine. It's an important thing to know in life, as they will more than likely meet other masculine looking women at some point, and will need to know how to interact respectfully & appropriately with them. Their ignorance is absolutely not a reason to discriminate against this girl and make her change in front of a group of boys.
